Kim’s new single, Never Ever is now available worldwide on iTunes and Amazon!

Written by Måns Ek (STIM), Crush Boys (Daniel Volpe and Thomas Lipp) (GEMA), and Charlie Mason (ASCAP), and with a fantastic lyric video by Michael Perks (produced by Daniel A. Donnelly), Never Ever has been praised as “stunning and addictive” by www.myfizzypop.com:

“Kim brings the song to life with his beguiling vocals, injecting the lyrics with a studied heart and passion that is hard to resist. He effortlessly recreates the sounds of classic 80s synth bands yet manages to remain distinct with his own tonal qualities. He is the anchor of the song, holding together all the elements and steering them to an exhilarating conclusion.”

Never Ever is the second single from Smith’s forthcoming debut pop album, Nova, and features remixes by Ricardo Autobahn, Chameleon Musique, and DJ J-Mi & Midi-D.  Download the single EP on iTunes and Amazon!
